471: And then I died - Page 18

First, Barry is the Red Wizard, from what I remember on other threads discussing them.

Second:

Quote:

Fighter appears to lead the party. Now, in a group with a charismatic Ninja, noble White Wizard, and Knowldable Red Wizard, why would he be the leader? Because of the damn destiny thing you always get in FF games =P
And if Fighter really did have this amazing destiny; it's really the only way anyone would let him lead.

Simple: He is a Fighter. He is the tank. He is the one with the highest Maximum HP and the Highest Absorb stat. He is the one that takes the hits. He is the one that (In FF and in 8BT as well, according to RM's chart) gets hit most often. It's only common sense to put the meat shield in front. You aren't gonna get much protection if your shield is still on your back, are you?

Third:

Quote:

I was under the impression that Fighter was more afflicted by ignorance and immaturity than by a true lack of intelligence, both of which can be changed over time. He's probably an absent-minded slow learner too, but that doesn't make him unintelligent.

Or, simply put, Fighter is incompetent, and likely has ADD (He seems fairly artistic, with his like of Haiku, and the many variations of his sword techniques which, itself, could be called Art).

TAL, Red Mage does have it, it's just far more likely that it's Fighter. But I'm guessing it's *meant* to be ambigious, just so you're not 99.9% sure.

Let's try this again.

Quote:

Wait, Swifters thinks that the "Red Speaker" can't be Fighter because the speech is too intelligent/wise?

Like I say at convention panels all the time: "Everyone thinks Fighter is the dumbest character, but he's probably the smartest."

This just in...

Brian, THE AUTHOR OF THE COMIC WE ARE DISCUSSING, has just confirmed that Episode 434 was a conversation between BM and Fighter.

Lycanthrope · 10-18-2004, 06:57 PM

actually, he hasn't, he has just told us that it may be fighter, and that we have no base to stand upon to say that it's not.

I wouldb't say that he said that fighter is the red speaker but that we shouldn't discount him as a possibility.

Naming Red WIzard could have something to do with his Gender Issue

Barry is a fairly typical "guy"'s name.

Still, if the LWs do face off against BM as suggested, they will end up the same part as the LWs. Maybe it's not Time Travel, but a Foreshadow.

Someone said on the first page that Douglas Adams was working on another hitchhiker book when he died. This is untrue, he was working on the third Dink Gently book.

Wetflame · 10-18-2004, 07:20 PM

I believe that was also said XD

Loyal · 10-18-2004, 07:33 PM

I believe the Legendary Warriors are future selves of the LWs from a parallel universe (And so hence the fact that they actually have names).

'Course, it's just a thought, but an interesting one. Random speculation that goes on in my head all the time.
